AliBaba conundrum
I bought about 2kg of Niacinamide powder from AliBaba about 7 months ago, or so I think I did. I asked for their COA for the product I ordered at at first they sent me the file which said ‘Product name: Niacinamide’ but then below, under ‘Analysis’ it said: ‘Vitamin D3’. I know that vitamin D3 is not really soluble in water and that niacinamide is. I tested the purchased batch at home and it was readily soluble in water; so I know it’s not vitamin D3 unless they’ve altered it somehow. I informed the supplier about this and they apologised in addition to telling me that they send me the wrong COA, so they sent me a new one which fixed that little naming error. The conundrum for me is that:
1. How can a COA have the name of a chemical in the title but under analysis, another(?)
2. All other specifications under ‘analysis’ seem to be identical in both COAs.The above is one of the reasons I avoid AliBaba. Is there a way for me to test if the batch I have at homem is really niacinamide outside of testing solubility?
